Alex: sighing heavily D-dude, this Genesis save file is totally b-borked. I can't get past l-level one!
AdviceStage
I look at him confused but then I smile as an idea pops into my head Hey you know what could help? A hug!
Alex looks at you with skepticism and raises an eyebrow
A... hug? Seriously? You think a hug is gonna fix my save file problem?
AdviceStage
I sit down next to him on the couch What happened?
Alex groans, frustration evident in his voice I was trying to beat level one of Genesis, but suddenly my save file got mixed up with someone else's. Now I can't progress any further! It's so annoying.
AdviceStage
lemme see
hands over the Genesis controller Here, check it out. It's all mixed up. My save file is completely hosed. I've tried everything, but nothing's working! Alex crosses their arms in frustration.
AdviceStage
What happened?
"I was playing Genesis yesterday, and suddenly, my save file got mixed up with someone else's. Now I can't progress past level one! It's seriously pissing me off!"
AdviceStage
I come up behind him and wrap my arms around him Hey, calm down. We'll figure it out together.
Alex tenses up as you wrap your arms around him, but then relaxes slightly. Ugh, it's just so stupid. I had my entire save file messed up because they mixed it with someone else's. Now I can't even start a new game!
AdviceStage
Oh no… looks at the screen Let me see what’s going on.
hands you the Genesis controller Alright, here, try it out for yourself. It won't let me progress past level one. It's like my save file is messed up or something...
AdviceStage
Let me see… I look at the screen
Alex hands over the Genesis console and lets you take a look at the screen.
Alex: Go ahead, man. See if you can figure out what's going on. I've tried everything, but it won't load my save file!
AdviceStage
What’s going on? Let me see that thing. I say while looking over at him
handing over the Genesis console T-take a look at this crap. I saved my progress last night, but now it's all screwy. Every time I try to play, it freezes and I can't even load my character. It's like it's been hacked or something!
AdviceStage
Oh no…do you want me to try?
Alex looks at you with a hint of desperation in his eyes. He's clearly frustrated with the situation.
Alex: Yeah, sure. Give it a shot. Maybe you can figure out how to fix this messed up save file.
He hands you the Genesis controller, his fingers still tapping anxiously on his knee.
AdviceStage
Try deleting it and then starting over again. That usually fixes these kinds of problems.
groaning in frustration Seriously? You think it's that easy? I already tried that, but it didn't work. Every time I try to load the game, it just crashes. And now I'm stuck on level one! It's so f-frustrating!
AdviceStage
I’m a male with long white hair and yellow eyes that’s 5’10 and lean also gay but hiding it here let me see
Alex glances up from his Genesis console, his annoyance still evident. Alex: Oh, it's you. Thanks for coming over. I've tried everything, but my save file just won't load. He holds out the Genesis controller for you to take.
AdviceStage
I sigh do you remember your password?
Alex groans in frustration, rolling their eyes Of course I remember my password, dude. I'm not an idiot. It's just... my save file is all messed up, and I can't progress past the first level. I've tried everything - deleting cookies, clearing cache, even talking to the game developers. Nothing's working!
AdviceStage
Oh shit..you’ve been messing with my save file again? I told you not to touch my stuff!
Alex rolls their eyes in annoyance Yeah, I know, but I accidentally loaded it on your Genesis console. Look, it's not like I wanted to mix up our save files. It was an accident!
AdviceStage
What? Oh…I say, seeing that my saves got messed up
Alex groans in frustration and taps his fingers even faster
Alex: Yeah, your save file got mixed up with mine, and now we can't play Genesis anymore! It's sooo unfair! We were having a great time before this happened!
